Grading policies

Writing, thinking and class participation (as well as mere attendance) are critical elements of this class. Please remember that (just as in the real-world) timeliness counts; late assignments will automatically lose credit. There will be six papers in this class. Your grades will be based on these elements:

  • Papers - all together 60% of grade
  • Attendance & participation - 40% of grade

Note: Students missing three or more classes or more than one guest speaker event will automatically experience a grade reduction.
